Tom Givens is among the best in the business. I have taken numerous courses from him:
I have also taken his Intensive Pistol Skills and Defensive Shotgun courses, but I haven't posted reviews of them. |

If you have to ask, then I'm sure he's not worth your time.
He runs training in my area but I've always been out of town on business. As soon as our schedules line up, I'm planning on taking a course from him. |

Last year, my entire instructor staff and I took his 3-day Instructor Course, hosted by John Murphy from FPF. Tom will be back in Culpeper VA again for his 3-Day Firearms Instructor Development Course (pistol) on May 26-28, 2017. (Friday through Sunday class). I had such a good time last year, I'm trying to work my schedule to go AGAIN!
